Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Nutrition literacy, a subset of health literacy, is increasingly recognized by public health authorities when designing nutrition education and promotion strategies. Higher levels of nutrition literacy are associated with healthier, higher-quality diet choices, which may help reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. However, the relationship between different dimensions of nutrition literacy and dietary behavior remains unclear. This study aims to examine sociodemographic differences in nutrition literacy dimensions and dietary behavior among Malaysian adults and to explore the relationship of nutrition literacy dimensions with dietary behavior. Methods: A total of 653 Malaysian adults (mean age: 29.42 ± 11.28 years) were recruited through online social networks between February 18 to August 25, 2022 for this online cross-sectional study. Participation was anonymous, voluntary, and based on informed consent. Results: Nutrition literacy dimensions were affected by age, gender, relationship status, and education level whereas dietary behavior was affected by ethnicity and education level. Higher scores in the "obtain", "analyze", and "apply" dimensions of nutrition literacy were significantly associated ( Conclusion: This study highlights the need for targeted nutrition education interventions to enhance nutrition literacy and promote healthier dietary behavior among Malaysian adults.
